ABOUT THE EVENT:
When life feels heavy, most of us have heard advice like:
“Be more positive.”
“Try to be happier.”
“Practice gratitude.”
“Meditate more.”
“Smile more often.”
And while these suggestions may come from a good place, words alone may not be enough.
Sometimes, what we truly need is a safe space, where we can pause. Breathe. Feel. Be heard. Where we’re supported through what we’re experiencing, instead of being asked to fix ourselves immediately.
This workshop has been created with that intention.
Through simple breathing practices and meditation techniques grounded in ancient Yogic wisdom, we will explore ways to calm the nervous system, release emotional heaviness, and reconnect with a sense of inner steadiness and peace.
WHAT YOU NEED (OR DON’T) TO ATTEND THE EVENT:
You DON’T need any prior experience with meditation or breathwork.
You DON’T need to “be positive.”
You DON’T need to have everything figured out.
Just come as you are, and we’ll take care of the rest 🙂
WHO IS THIS FOR:
Whether you are navigating stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, loneliness, or simply looking for a deeper connection with yourself, this session is here to support you with compassion, presence, and practical tools you can carry into daily life.
This is a free online community session open to anyone who feels called to join.

While We Are One - A Trauma-Sensitive Pregnancy Gathering
2026-06-07 10:00 - 2026-08-16 12:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | The Sanctuary – Loftus, 7 Columbine Cl, Loftus, NSW, 2232, Australia
Pregnancy can hold many layers.
Not only the physical changes — but emotional, relational, and internal shifts that are often harder to name.
There can be joy and anticipation.
And also uncertainty, overwhelm, or quiet questions beneath it all.
You don’t need to feel a certain way to be here.
This space was created so you don’t have to hold it all on your own.

The Invitation
There is so much guidance around pregnancy. What to do. What to choose. What to prepare.
And yet — there is a quieter layer.
The one that lives in the body.
In the nervous system.
In the stories we carry.
In the relationship forming — between you and your baby, and within yourself.
While We Are One is an invitation into that space.
A space to slow down.
To listen.
To be met, gently, within your own experience.

What this Space Offers

Each gathering is a weaving of practice, reflection, and shared presence.

Within this space, you’ll be supported through:

❋ trauma-sensitive prenatal yoga and grounded practices

where expansion and softening live side by side, holding the full spectrum of this season, from grief and anxiety to joy and excitement, within your own pace, rhythm, and choice.
A space to connect with your body, and your baby.

❋ guided reflection and shared conversation

a gentle understanding of the emotional, physiological, and relational landscape of pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood

❋ art, movement, voice, and expression

a space to explore the creative expression of this season, where dance, nature, painting, and writing become gentle pathways back to yourself… an invitation to move, feel, and create in your own way, as life unfolds within you

❋ A Supportive Space

a small, consistent circle of women to be alongside, with a WhatsApp group for connection in the in-between, and access to a growing online library of practices and resources you can return to in your own time

How We Gather

We meet in a slow, steady rhythm.

Each session includes:
• a gentle arrival and grounding
